Verdict
This is no improvement on the previous division with the vote going to CROCODILE POWER. John Quinn’s charge has placed at Wolverhampton the last twice and an apprentice’s 7lb allowance could give him the edge in this. Oriental Lilly returns to the all-weather with a chance while both Under Your Breath and Favourite Niece finished closer last time, though neither looked like winning.
